A study of marine benthic algae along a natural carbon dioxide gradient
Posted on EPOCA: 18 Dec 2012 — Study of OA and potential impacts to ecosystems is increasing worldwide. Many studies, such as this one, are potentially relevant to the California Current even though conducted in other areas. Increasing atmospheric CO2 is causing unprecedented changes in seawater chemistry, yet the uncertainty
Measurement of seawater pH: a theoretical and analytical investigation
Posted on EPOCA: 18 Dec 2012 The emission of anthropogenic carbon is leading to the influx of additional CO2 to the atmosphere and global ocean. While the flux of anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere to the ocean may be leading to the mitigation of global climate change, it is also
Climate change and ocean acidification – as delivered on the Senate floor
Posted on EPOCA: 17 Dec 2012 — Sheldon Whitehouse, United States Senator for Rhode Island, 12 December 2012 Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, there are many signs of the fundamental, measurable changes we are causing in the Earth’s climate, mainly through our large-scale emission of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels. These
Short- versus long-term responses to changing CO2 in a coastal dinoflagellate bloom: implications for interspecific competitive interactions and community structure
Posted on EPOCA: 17 Dec 2012 — Tatters A. O., Schnetzer A., Fu F., Lie A. Y. A., Caron D. A. & Hutchins D. A., in press, Evolution. Increasing pCO2 (partial pressure of CO2) in an ‘acidified’ ocean will affect phytoplankton community structure, but manipulation experiments with assemblages briefly acclimated to
